My sleep quality had recently taken a nosedive with trouble falling asleep and occasional 3am stress spirals. I’ve regularly relied on melatonin and over-the-counter sleep aids which leave me feeling groggy the next day. I wanted to heighten the ways I relax without any impaired cognitive function or hangover. Truth is I have had a rocky relationship with CBD products. Honestly, they made me edgy, the opposte of relaxed. So for two full weeks (and with no expectations whatsoever), I tested two of Cornbread Hemp’s headliners: their Blueberry Breeze THC Gummies and CBD Sleep Gummies. 

Hemp CBD? so what is it?

Cornbread Hemp has quickly become known for their hemp-derived CBD gummies and dedication to complete transparency. Their Kentucky operation employs a vertically-integrated operation system — meaning they control every step of their supply chain, from plant cultivation to manufacturing and retail. Fun fact: Kentucky sits on the same longitude line as the Hindu Kush mountains of Asia, where cannabis strains originated. Just like you wouldn’t want wine from barren arctic plains, the same could be said about hemp. Terroir matters. 

They’re also creating fully legal THC gummies. Like me, you’re probably wondering how that’s even possible. According to the Farm Bill that passed in 2018, Congress allowed the sale of hemp-derived THC edibles throughout America (with the exception of Idaho) so long as they remained below the 0.3% THC limit.

Cornbread Hemp’s THC gummies weigh five grams and 0.3% of those five grams would put the legal limit at 15mg of THC —so their 10mg gummies are well within the legal range. 

How Cornbread Hemp is cultivating higher standards in CBD

In addition to strict adherence to legislation, they’re also fully vetting each batch for quality with third party testing. Every jar is emblazoned with a QR code that lets you access their COA (certificate of analysis) to see the full cannabinoid profile and levels of contaminants like pesticides, solvents, mycotoxins, and heavy metals.

Sleep, my demise

I also had previously tried many different CBD products that didnt help me at all, so I was going in a bit disillusioned.

I had done some initial research on Cornbread Hemp ahead of time, and it sounded promising.

I started with the CBD Sleep Gummies because, being in menopause, sleep is not my friend. The 1500mg pack promised a deep slumber- no morning malaise. I popped one before bed, and within 20 minutes it was like someone hit the dimmer switch on my brain.

The 750mg version was nice too. It’s perfect for those nights when you just need a nudge rather than a full-on shove into sleep.

These sleep gummies combine full-spectrum hemp extract with organic ingredients like strawberry, valerian root, chamomile, and lavender, without the need for melatonin as an additional sleep aid. These ingredients work within the brain to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety to help you fall asleep and stay asleep, without the “hangover” feeling caused by melatonin.

Products with CBD can obviously be helpful in the moment to aid in restlessness and pain, but best results are seen cumulatively over time.

Cornbread Hemp Sleep Gummies, Strengths: 1500mg and 750mg

Cornbread Hemp’s CBD Gummies for Sleep are formulated with organic valerian root, chamomile, lavender, and full spectrum hemp flower — designed to be taken each night 30 minutes before bed.

I particularly appreciated that these gummies were melatonin-free. While it works for some, melatonin has always left me feeling groggy and full of brain fog the next day. Since I didn’t want to risk any next-day hangover, I opted for their lowest strength of 750mg. It wasn’t my favorite flavor-wise, but wasn’t enough of a deterrent to stop my trial.

Towards the end of my trial, I realized that I had been gradually resting deeper and longer. Finally!

THC gummies that are legal

Cornbread Hemp describes their THC gummies as a way to achieve “carefree moments” with feelings of “happiness, comfort, and warmth.” Each gummy is vegan, gluten free, and contains 10mg of accurately dosed THC that can be scaled up or down (from a half-gummy to two full gummies) according to your preference.

I decided to try a single gummy on a day I was feeling amped up. After about 30 minutes, I realized I was feeling exuberant and light.

Overall, it made for a great day, unbothered by my usual lifes stressors. Though my first experience was during the day, I found that I preferred to take this at night as a way to help transition from a long work day.

Why consistency is key

I was already aware that CBD is a tool that can be used to help navigate stress, anxiety, and chronic pain — all the things. But it wasn’t until sticking to a regular, consistent routine with a brand that prioritizes quality that I was able to experience it firsthand. 

With a USDA-organic certification, full transparency, and a strict adherence to ever-changing regulations, it’s clear that Cornbread Hemp is committed to doing the right thing — regularly going above and beyond what is expecte
